It took BMW twelve years to bring back the M Touring after discontinuing the M5 E61 in 2010. However, the smaller M3 Touring is not available in North America where you also can't have the Audi RS4 Avant or the Mercedes-AMG C63 Estate. The silver lining is those reports about a US-bound M5 Touring have now evolved past the gossip stage. The M man himself, Frank van Meel, suggests Bavaria is prepping a belated answer to the RS6 and E63 long-roofs.
